Litton Das ruled out of Asia Cup, replaced by Anamul Haque
August 30, 2023
Litton Das has been ruled out of Asia Cup 2023 with a viral fever. The illness prevented him from travelling to Sri Lanka with the rest of the squad, and he has not yet recovered. He has been replaced by Anamul Haque in a like-for-like swap of top-order batters who can keep wickets.
Anamul, 30, last played an ODI for Bangladesh in December 2022 against India. In all, he has represented Bangladesh in 44 ODIs, in which he has scored 1254 runs at an average of 30.58, which includes five fifties and three centuries. In all those matches, he has either opened or come in at No.3. Anamul will serve as a backup keeper for Mushfiqur Rahim and will join the team later on Wednesday.
